Job 36:18 in Context — Job 36

16 Assim também ele pode te desviar da boca da angústia [para] um lugar amplo, onde não haveria aperto; para o conforto de tua mesa, cheia dos melhores alimentos.

17 Mas tu estás cheio do julgamento do perverso; o julgamento e a justiça te tomam.

18 Por causa da furor, [guarda-te] para que não sejas seduzido pela riqueza, nem que um grande suborno te faça desviar.

19 Pode, por acaso, a tua riqueza te sustentar para que não tenhas aflição, mesmo com todos os esforços de [teu] poder?

20 Não anseies pela noite, em que os povos são tomados de seu lugar.
